1t is claimed that by a new process
white wood can be made so tough as to
require a cold chisel to split it. This
result is obtained by steaming the tim
ber and submitting it to end pressure,
technically "upsetting" it, thus COM
pressing the cells and tibres into one
compact mass. 1t is the opinion OF
those who have experimental with the
process that wood can be compressed
seventy-fve per cent, and that some
timber which is now considered unfit
for use in such work as carriage build
ing, could be made valuable by this
means.
